You can't help but notice the gigantic statue of the Roman goddess Victoria crowning the top of Victory Column (Siegessaule). It weighs 31 metric tons (34 tons) and is 67 m (220 ft) tall. Designed in 1864 to commemorate Prussia's military triumphs, the statue was not finished until 1873. Intended to honor victory in the German-Danish war, its completion ended up coming closer to Prussia's defeat of France. You're allowed to climb to the top of the tower, but the statue the locals call Golden Lizzy will still be above you. The ascent is strenuous and not recommended for those with mobility issues.

Make sure to bring some water with you and take advantage of the rest spots, it’s quite a climb especially in hot weather. But the views are incredible from the top, would recommend.

The view and experience were amazing, but keep in mind there are a lot of stairs. The view from the middle was better for me personally, because the top was crowded. I would recommend everyone visit..... more

This cost 4 euros for an adult, it's a spiral staircase all the way up, too small for an elevator. That's quite a climb, they do have stopping points where you can stop and take a break but other people will be wiggling by. What you do get up there, There's a really nice view of the whole city, it was really pretty from up there. If you're okay with the 4 euro and climbing a bunch of stairs, then it's a good deal!

A place worth visiting. There are a few reasons you should do that: 1. Great panoramic view on Berlin 2. Interesting museum indoors 3. Exercise climbing 200+ stairs First of all, don’t cross the road, you can get there using underground passes from east and west side of the column. I paid 3.5 EUR to enter. Only cash. Secondly, be careful on the stairs. It has little areas after each stair case, you can get some rest if you are tired climbing and pass some people through. I recommend visiting this place either at golden hour, after, or in the morning. Views are going to be the best during these hours.
